Chapter 17
Kent Farm, Guestroom,
Chloe was sitting up on her bed looking around the room as she was trying to forget the image of Clark dying.

After 5 minutes she finally got out of bed and took a feather a piece of parchment and a bottle of fluid from the drawer of her nightstand. Dipping the point of the feather in the fluid she started to write on the parchment.

Dear Clark,

she stopped writing thinking of how to proceed. She didn't want to hurt him but knew she was going to if she continued on with her newly thought out plan.

You're probably worried about me and wondering where I am. I'm sorry I left without you but I don't want to put you in any danger anymore because of me. I've already caused too much suffering to the people I love. And I want it to stop. Stay here with your mother and father and protect them. I'm not saying where I'm going to because you might follow me but I promise I'll be back with the cure for your mother as soon as I can.

Yours forever,

Chloe Sullivan, princess of Avalon

When she finished her letter Chloe laid the piece of parchment on her bed and opened the window before turning herself into little green orbs and orb outside.

Kent Farm, Martha and Jonathan's room,
Clark and Jonathan sat in chair by Martha Kent's bedside.

"Have I told you about the first time I met your mother?" Jonathan asked his son.

"no" Clark almost whispered as his eyes were on his mother.

"It was at the castle of Avalon, your mother was the daughter of an advisor for the king and queen of that time. She was talking with Lois, the heir to the throne and I was there to inform the king and queen of the closing demon activity to our farm and kingdom. I asked permission for more patrols by the border. We were at peace with the demons at that time so the king refused. Martha was the one who backed up the idea of more patrols by remembering the king and queen of the things we were dealing with. that safety was better then to take a chance in having our people killed and losing a farm which provides a great deal of food for the people of Avalon. The king and queen talked among themselves and Martha's father then agreed to boost up the number of patrols that were done. When I thanked them and stepped out of the room into the hallway your mother came out after me. I thanked her and she shook her head and said that she should thank me for informing them." Jonathan told his son as tears were forming in his eyes, "I thought to myself then that I wanted to marry this woman who was so selfless and trusting of strangers. I still think that when I see her"

"She's going to be alright dad" Clark told his father placing a hand on his back. "Chloe and I are going to retrieve that book so we can heal her."

Jonathan pulled his son in a hug letting his son's strength reassure him that his wife was going to be alright. when he pulled back he looked at Clark and said "thanks son. Maybe you should check on her so you can be sure she's alright when she wakes up."

Clark nodded "alright dad." he said standing up and looked at his mother before turning towards the door and exited the room.

When Clark came into the guestroom he noticed the bed was empty and the window open "Chloe" he whispered he then saw a letter on the bed and picked it up and sat on the bed as he read it.

Border of Avalon and Langkingdom,
Chloe suddenly fell from her orbs to the ground.

"ouch, what the..." she started to say not understanding why she had stopped from her orb. she tried to orb again but nothing was happening. she then tried to move something but nothing. "my powers are gone." she said out loud.

a mans voice sounded from behind her. "duh, what do you expect with all the anti-magic stones at the border."

Chloe spun around and saw a young man standing there "who are you?" She asked "and what do you mean by anti-magic stone?"

The young man smiled "My name is Charles, and I mean that those anti-magic stones prevent you from using magic. Now miss, would you tell me who you are and why you are able to use magic. hence the name of the stone. Anti-Magic stone" he said to her in a obvious tone.

"I am Chloe Sullivan, Princess of Avalon." Chloe said in a offended tone.

The mans eyes widened, then he studied her walking around her. When finally having circled around her he looked at her again. "The prophecy is true" he said. "The princess has returned to her kingdom."

"Prophecy?" Chloe asked confused but before she could asked what exactly he meant by that the man kneeled in front of her and took her hand "Princess, forgive my manners. I didn't know it was you"

At a loss of words Chloe stared at him.
